Day 5 (Last Day) Members Entries
Posted 29 March 2015 - 05:10 AM
Some random notes:
Both Haruppi and Mio aims at #16. And Yuihan said she is aiming for #7 this year.

^Sakura also said she aims for Kami-7
I said I would be sleeping but lol it's spring break. Updated the Day 5 list with more members. I would assume that the big names (Sasshi, Paruru, Sayanee etc) will put their entries in at the last minute. I spoke too soon SASSHI IS IN!

Moripo also mentioned her goal this year is #16

So from the Japanese groups, the following girls are not participating:
AKB48:
Annin, Ricchan (G), Kojiharu, Chiichan, Sakiko, Aayaroid (G), Abemaru, Ucchii, Shihorin (G), Ikoma, Mocchi, Miyumiyu, Tanamin, Mitsuki, Yuirii
SKE48:
Neesan (G), Rikachuu, Nishishi (G), Abiru, Airin (G), Koami (G), Rena, Ogirii (G),
NMB48:
Sakipi, Murokana, Kinoshita, Yuipon, Nana (G), Emichi, Terumii
HKT48:
Manamin (G)
Interesting to see that Annin is opting out of the election. I wonder if this means something more, such as her thinking about graduation or if it's just in line with her rejecting senbatsu for 40th single on the grounds of not participating in events. If so and she chooses to not graduate, I wonder if she will return to events or not, and if not, reject senbatsu position and election this once, or throughout her career...
Kojiharu not participating is also interesting since she hasn't announced her graduation. I would think that she'd want to take part of her final election if she will graduate this year, but who knows... Mocchi not participating is also a little surprising.
Renacchi aiming at senbatsu, and Piichan wants #49 since it's center of Future Girls. Jiina wants to rank in at #27, since 2 = Ji, 7 = Na (and she admits it's a bit high but still...). And Nakochan wants to rank in at #34 because of 34(5) = Sashi(ko).

I didn't expect the number of members who have decided not to participate to be so high. I wonder which members from there will decide to graduate and which will stick around.
So many open spots this year, besides graduating, I would think members who ranked in last year would participate again this year.

Out of the 27 members not participating, only 6 of them have announced graduation, and Ikoma has "graduated" from AKB so she probably decided not to participate because of that.

While I would like to see most of the girls participate, with some girls dropping out due to various reasons, it does open up for other girls to rank. And that is cool, considering how big of an event this is. So it's exciting to watch who ranks at which position and how they react and what they say etc. For some it also creates a momentum that continues for some time, helping them become more established as an idol, so this years election certainly has the chance to deliver.

About Kojiharu, during last year's election I got the feeling she doesn't really care anymore about rankings. She's been around for almost ten years and doesn't really have to rely on her ranking to get work. And even if she doesn't rank, management will probably put her in the senbatsu for upcoming singles anyway.

Yeah she's pretty much untouchable, and for a good reason too. It's a bit funny that she apparently forgot to apply though...
Posted 29 March 2015 - 11:54 PM
Nahh, she tweeted "opps, I forget to apply..." but then later tweeted that she wasn't planning on applying and decided not to participate a few days ago. ^^
Posted 30 March 2015 - 12:14 AM
Yes I know, I just meant with regards to her first tweet. It'd be typical for her to do something like that.

Nah, Isohara is going to slay in this SSK, to be realistic.
Isohara has a better chance than them.

anyone knows why Yuiri isn't participating in this year's souseknyo? I think she's quite popular, certainly one of the well known members in Team 4, so I just can't think of a reason why she isn't participating...
